Today was like any other day until I realized I had just annihilated my Twix candy bar. Maybe it was like other days! However, I was working to eat healthier--less processed foods, more fruits, vegetables and seafood. Even though Twix candy bars are delicious they do not fit into any of the recommended food groups! Do I regret eating the Twix? Absolutely not! Now I do regret the number of fat and calories it contains. Will I gain weight? No, not on one candy bar and eating healthy. So what is the concern? I had this plan to lose weight and I just sabotage it. Or did I? I wonder what led me to buy the Twix and then annihilate it. I was triggered without even being aware.Something triggered me and I sought out Mr. Reliable, Chocolate! So maybe it was worth it. To learn more about my triggers and red flags, can only help me be more aware and give me a choice to do something differently next time. Life is like eating the Twix candy bar. Every minute of the day we make choices--even sitting on the fence and not doing something is a choice. You get to decide to grow with your choices or be stuck with them and in them. I have made some whopper of bad choices! And yes, consequences come with our choices however, I get to choose my actions and reactions to them. And I choose not to live in regret. I choose to enjoy the choices I have made and grow from them and not be stuck by them. ~Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
